Yeah, don't you worry your pretty little head about it. Nothin to worry about. Just keep on consuming. Don't worry about the cultural tourism. I mean if gwen stefani can pay asian folk to follow her around then she isn't really exploiting them cuz she pays well... right? White folks have always made money off of other cultures and left them in the dust for the next fashion trend. Dating black men was so last year.

We're not talking about child labor or slavery here, just a trend in fashion. I mean, were 70's-era punks exploiting nazis by stealing nazi imagery? Are the japanese exploiting cowboys because american western clothing is so popular there? I don't see how this is A) a uniquely white phenomenom, and how it's hurting the source culture. We're not talking about caricaturing of a culture here, just borrowed motifs, and it's been going on for thousands of years.

Save the moral high ground for something that actually matters.

yeah, I figure if a girl gets so bent out of shape about not washing a pair of jeans, she's not the girl for me. Hell, even before I got into higher end denim I wouldn't wash my levis more than once every 4-5 months, just because they last longer that way.

hand wash them or just soak them with some mild detergent/woolite/your drug of choice. That will put the least stress on the jeans, if you want them to last.

I love the picture of the girl trying to make herself vomit in the "lifestyle" section. I think it really sums up the brand.

dont forget the uggs

oh jesus, don't even get me started. The uggs were bad, but now girls are wearing these crazy caveman boots that look like a couple of stuffed maltese hounds, or suede boots with fake fur trim and furry pom-poms hanging off the top. Furry pom-poms! Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

I think your capslock key is stuck, buddy.

If you can do that sort of quality for $40-50 a sweatshirt, I say go for it. And definitely reserve me a small!

You'd need to set up escrow and whatnot for larger purchases... Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I probably wouldn't do this much work unless I was getting some sort of kickback. It seems like kind of a headache, and it's already pretty easy to get things from (Japan, NYC, LA, Canada, etc.) informally with PMs.

It just seems like trying to set up something ebay-esque here is asking for trouble, and probably a whole lot of work the superfuture-folk don't really want to do.

...I think it's a problem with translation programs in general, and not the "greatness" of japanese...

Listen, everyone loves a girl with a gold tooth.

sorority girls here in jersey have been wearing this crap for a while. I've got no idea, man.

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of the overdyed black new standards or narrows soon (going to the NYC store to check the fits out)... Anyone know how these fade?

I'm hoping since they're overdyed the blue will start to show through the black with wear...

Yeah dude, I smoke close to a pack a day, and my fingers look absolutely normal. You seriously need to get her washing her hands more.

seriously. And having someone who can supply small batches of CYC-quality hoodies would be a huge boon to designers/companies starting out, would let them compete with brands like Supreme on the merits of their design alone without quality being a factor.

Not to mention I really want one of these for myself, haha.

yuck

Steven Alan currently just has Spruces in a sort of annoying blue color... As for Caban, I don't see anything that even suggests they carry sweatshirts.

What's your markup going to be? If say, you only have to sell 250 or 300 of them to make your money back, it might be worth it.

If you have the cash, I say go for it. If you don't you'll be kicking yourself for not doing something you really want to do. And hell, you'll always have the lawyer gig to fall back on, it's not like you're going to be ruined if this flops with your education.

I just have a simple black coach wallet. It's nice looking without being too gaudy, and will probably last forever.

Yeah, definitely sign me up for a small.

And with all the people on here that do screening and whatnot, I'm sure you could offload a good chunk of them just to superfuture folks.

It's been about 8 months now... Anyone have any leads on where to get spruce stuff online?

tell her to wash her hands more often. If she washes them a few times a day, and makes sure to scrub her smoking fingers especially, it'll go away. It's just the top few layers of dead skin cell that get stained.

Those pants are awesome, great fit

I wear a 30X34 normally as well, and my julian red calis are 29X34 and stretched to fit wonderfully in just a few days. The hobokens are stretch denim, I believe, so they should stretch even more. I doubt you'll have any problems with them.
